In The Mix is a media brand built for the asphalt industry—by people who know it from the inside.
We create content that matters to the contractors, business owners, and professionals who keep this industry moving. Through our podcast, social media, and industry presence, we’re building a community where real conversations happen, where honest insights are shared, and where the people doing the work get recognized for what they do.
This isn’t about hype or sales pitches. It’s about telling the stories that need to be told, asking the questions that need to be asked, and connecting people who can help each other succeed.
Our goal is simple: to be the most trusted voice in the asphalt industry. We want every contractor, every supplier, and every professional in this space to know In The Mix as a place where they can find value, get honest perspectives, and feel like they’re part of something bigger.
We’re still building, still growing, and still learning—but we’re committed to doing this right. For the industry. For the people. For the long haul.
In The Mix is where stories get laid down hot. This isn’t your typical industry podcast—it’s a gathering around the campfire after a long day. Gritty but warm, we keep it real with the folks who build our world from the ground up.
Hosted by Marvin Joles, each episode features honest, unfiltered chats with the people behind the asphalt and dirt work. We dig into life both on and off the job, celebrating not just what we build, but who we are.
No corporate talk. No jargon. No empty words. Just real stories that matter.
